Vögeialm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice hut right on the way towards Oberhütte. The Vögeialm is a real tip for a stop before you start the long, steep ascent. Of course you can also use the hut as a starting point for hikes, there are enough parking spaces. Don't forget the hut ticket. Nice, brisk service, nice terrace and fair prices.

Summit Cross Seekarscharte

Highlight • Summit

The ascent is very easy, mainly on a gravel path. The last piece is just a little heavier, but easy to do. It is worth taking a look over the saddle. Sharp rock giants can be observed on the other side.

It's worth the effort for this panoramic view! The path is easy to do with a bit of fitness. Be sure to also take the Klammlsee with you with a view of the Dachstein. A very successful tour with a good view!

Hiking Trail to Oberhütte

Highlight • Trail

Very nice, idyllic hiking trail over the mountains to the Oberhütte. Here you can stay overnight and there is a small playground for the children. In between you can cool your feet in the cold mountain stream and enjoy the wonderful view. Just heavenly!

Oberhütte by the Lake

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The long climb is worth it. You have a great view from the Oberhütte at around 1,860 meters. When you get here, you deserve a break. The Oberhütte is also a great place to stay. You have the choice between double, 6-bed or 16-bed rooms. There is hot food here between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

July 2, 2022,Vogeialm- Seekarscharte- Oberseehütte

A wonderful round: From the Vogeialm (up to here on the toll road to the trail parking lot at 1350m.) Steep up to the saddle (2050m). Then over a lovely mountain pasture area with many small lakes and beautiful vegetation to the Oberseehütte. Magnificent view of the roof truss and bishop's cap. Descent less steep to the Vogeialm.

Really, sometimes you think it can't get any better and then the best so far is topped again! So today: we did a hike that does not belong to the category "reaching the goal", but to the category "the path is the goal"! Because: the hike from the Vögeialm to the Oberhüttensee in the Radstädter Tauern is now one of …

A truly beautiful tour! Incredible scenery and fantastic trails past several small mountain lakes, over roots, rocks, and meadows! Stop at the Oberhütte by the lake before returning to the parking lot. (Access to the parking lot via toll road: €9, or €7 with a meal at a hut)

Beautiful mountain lakes, a cozy hut and a gorge.
The car park at Vögeialm (1,383 m) can be reached via a toll road. From here a beautiful path leads through the mountain forest and alpine meadows up to the Oberhütte (1,869 m). Here you can first recharge your batteries on the cozy terrace. Immediately after the hut is the beautiful …
